Depth bar (mandatory): Band B upper integrated SMS + rolling steel account. Estimates [~]; directory [dir]; unverified [!]. Never invent bills. Red flag: monthly electricity may sit at Stamped’s ₹30L Band A floor — qualify hard before enterprise packaging.

1. Company overview & snapshot

1.1 Legal identity & corporate structure

King Steel Rolling Mills (web brand King Steels) is presented as a partnership manufacturing and exporting graded steel from Mandi Gobindgarh. Public GST commonly cited: 03AAAFK8872G1ZC [dir/web]. Establishment narrative: incepted 1978 under mentor / founder Mr. Rakesh K. Gupta (about page). Management page also lists Mr. Rushil Gupta as managing director (next-gen). TradeIndia / directory pages sometimes say “established 1987” or style Rakesh as proprietor — treat 1978 about-page claim as primary company story and resolve legal form on GST/MCA documents before contract.

Not listed. No CIN equivalent to a Pvt Ltd in the materials relied on here — partnership paperwork differs. Open charges / capital accounts: pull from available filings if any; do not invent. Parent group / JV: none found. Brand collisions: “King Steel” appears elsewhere in India metals — always qualify G.T. Road Sirhind Side Mandi Gobindgarh 147301.

1.2 What they make & where money comes from

Company markets industrial steel supplies for construction, scaffolding, automobiles, bicycle, hand tools, cement plants, power transmission, bridges, fasteners, etc. Product pages / IndiaMART adjacent listings emphasise mild steel flats, squares, rounds, alloy steel flats/rounds, related rolled products; process pages also describe strip hardening/tempering flows for medium/high carbon content (site process chart).

Infrastructure (kingsteels.com/infrastructure.php — company claims):

Steel Melting Division (SMS):

• Electric melting furnace
• Capacity 24,000 MT / annum
• Ladle furnace with argon purging (LF)
• Vacuum degassing (VD)
• Cold wire feeder
• Bottom pouring ingot casting
• Ingot moulds 4″ to 34″
• Ladle preheating
• APC
• Overhead crane to 40 t
• Foundry section casting up to 14T single piece

Rolling Mill:

• 24″ automatic mill (4 stands)
• 12″ automatic mill (6 stands)
• 18″ roughing mill
• Billet reheating pusher furnace — gas fired
• Online hot cutting; band saw; cranes

Machine Shop: CNC/conventional lathes to 5 m, VTL, grinders, boring, etc.

Heat treatment (site process narrative): electrically heated muffle furnace in inert environment for harden/temper of strips; quench/temper; edge dress; polish / colour temper options.

Revenue: lead ~₹120–180 Cr [~] → Band B upper. Website marketing stats: 70,000 MT “total production,” 200+ workers, 6078+ “happy clients,” +44 years experience — treat big round marketing numbers as [web] soft (70k MT vs 24k melt capacity suggests rolling / trading / multi-input tonnage — ask).

Money & energy: IF + LF + VD + foundry + rolling auxiliaries + electric HT create a multi-stage electrical stack; gas reheat removes some thermal kWh from the PSPCL bill but leaves melt/VD/HT dominant.

1.3 Plants, addresses & footprint

Pilot: single campus — pick SMS incomer or shared plant incomer with process event tagging. Do not invent multi-plant benchmark.

1.4 Leadership & CRM map

LinkedIn: search soft — no durable founder URL locked. Decision path: Rakesh interest → share two PSPCL bills → electrical walk → 90-day feeder. Owner-reachable SME steel.

1.5 Recent news (24 months) & timing for Stamped

No major English-press expansion inauguration or distress headline specifically for King Steel Rolling Mills locked in this pass. Timing still good because:

• Public infrastructure page already names IF, LF, VD, electric HT — rare clarity for SME steel.
• Band B upper revenue with multi-stage electric process → strong attribution story if bill clears floor.
• Cluster competition (Bhawani / Arjas / Royal / Aar Kay) raises buyer literacy — lead with ₹ ownership, not tutorials.

Avoid false “post-modernisation” claims.

2. Energy profile

DISCOM / supply (name early): PSPCL (Punjab State Power Corporation Limited). Sirhind Side Gobindgarh industrial steel is classically PSPCL HT Large Supply / possibly EHT depending on CMD. Confirm tariff category, ToD, and whether SMS and rolling share one connection.

2.1 Bill band, tariff & demand

No public bill. Hypotheses for IF 24k TPA + LF + VD + rolling campus + electric HT at ₹120–180 Cr revenue:

Lead flag: may sit at ₹30L/mo bill floor. Treat first call as bill triage, not ROI theatre. Ask recorded MD vs CMD, PF, furnace campaign charts.

2.2 Generation, fuel & renewables

• Billet reheat: gas-fired (company infrastructure) — fuel lever ≠ Stamped grid lever.
• Melting: electric.
• HT muffle: electric.
• Solar / OA / captive RE: not found.
• DG: unknown — ask.
• APC fans: electric, often continuous with melt.

2.3 EnMS, PAT, ISO, BRSR

2.4 Likely ₹ leak categories (hypothesis)

1. IF melt start coinciding with VD pump-down and rolling mill acceleration → stacked MD.
2. Ladle preheat + APC high duty during hold between heats.
3. Electric HT muffle continuous base load vs productive temper cycles.
4. Machine shop CNC banks idle while SMS peaks.
5. PF on induction + VD motors.
6. Weekend / festival hold strategy lacking ₹ owner.
7. Gas reheat ops assuming “power is only melt” — missing HT + utilities on PSPCL.
8. Inability to assign last month’s demand spike to melt vs vacuum vs temper.

3. Operations, equipment & digital stack

3.1 Process flow & critical loads

Melt–cast path: scrap/charge → IF melt → LF refine / Ar → VD → bottom pour ingots / foundry cast to 14T → cool.
Roll path: billet → gas reheat → 18″/24″/12″ mills → cut → finish.
Strip HT path (as published): slit HR → pickle → CR loops / anneal as needed → electrically heated inert muffle harden/temper → quench/temper → edge / polish / colour → oil / pack.

Critical electrical: IF, LF auxiliaries, VD trains, APC, cranes, electric HT, mill motors (rolling still electric even if reheat is gas), machine shop, compressors, water.

Controllable for Stamped: sequencing of melt, VD, mill, HT; idle air; PF; ToD of non-critical HT colour runs. Not controllable: metallurgy vacuum recipes, customer harden specs.

3.2 Shifts, seasonality, production pattern

Likely multi-shift when order book healthy; construction steel seasonal. Ask planned shutdown calendars. Maintenance after Diwali often useful for metering walks.

3.3 Automation, metering, SCADA/EMS/DCS

Automatic mills imply PLC; SMS may have limited furnace HMI. No public EMS name. Path A: interval meter export. Path B: bills + heat log + HT cycle log. Read-only only.

3.4 Capex / tech projects affecting energy

No verified 24-month public project. If Rushil mentions new mill stand or VD upgrade, baseline post-capex MD.

4. Stamped Energy fit analysis

4.1 ICP scorecard

4.2 Fit score rationale

Fit 7/10 Band B upper — process wedge is excellent (assign kWh/MD to melt vs VD vs roll vs temper); owner reachable; Gmail verified. Cap: possible ₹30L floor; marketing tonnage ambiguity; partnership documentation; thin controversy search (good) but also thin financial disclosure.

4.3 Wedge (parser-critical)

The strongest wedge is: split the PSPCL demand spike across IF melt, vacuum degassing, rolling motors and electric HT muffles — then verify ₹ ownership on the next bill so Rakesh sees which stage buys the demand charge.

4.4 Objections & competitors

4.5 Pilot design

Site: Sirhind Side campus. Scope: SMS incomer preferred (IF+LF+VD) or plant incomer if single meter. Weeks 1–2: two PSPCL bills, heat calendar, HT cycle log. Weeks 3–8: ranked prescriptions. Weeks 9–12: invoice reconcile + optional ₹/t. Success: one stage-owned MD action. Kill: bill <₹30L (if Band A packaging) or <agreed Path B floor; no founder attention.

6. Risks, flags, controversies & sources

6.1 Integrity / controversy / regulatory (search explicitly)

Search terms used: “King Steel Rolling Mills Mandi Gobindgarh”, “King Steel Rolling Mills fraud”, “King Steel Gupta DGGI”, “King Steels GST raid”, “King Steel Rolling Mills NGT”, “King Steel Sirhind labour”, “03AAAFK8872G1ZC”, “Rakesh Gupta King Steel controversy”.

Result: No material lawsuit headline, GST raid story, DGGI arrest, NGT major notice, or promoter fraud allegation specifically tying King Steel Rolling Mills (Mandi Gobindgarh) was found in the open-web corpus reviewed for this dossier.

Label: none found (with terms above). Continue standard GST/PCB diligence. Do not allege. Note: Gobindgarh cluster has had enforcement actions against other firms (e.g. press coverage of unrelated entities) — do not smear King Steel by association.

Initiatives / failures: no public EnMS initiative success or failure story found; infrastructure transparency is a positive commercial signal, not a compliance certificate.

6.2 Data quality flags

• 24k melt vs 70k production marketing — reconcile.
• 200 workers may understate contractors.
• Partnership vs “proprietor” directory language.
• Bill floor risk highest commercial flag.

Appendix — process hypotheses & gap list (word-count depth for SME steel)

Explicit gaps to close on call / walk: number of IF shells; heater rating kW; transformer size; whether LF is always energised with every heat; VD roughing vs fine vacuum electrical draw; ladle preheat fuel vs electric; APC fan VFD presence; bag filter DP setpoints; crane duty cycles; cooling tower kW; DM water pumps; mould drying; scrap yard magnet; weighbridge; continuous caster vs ingot-only (site emphasises bottom pour ingots); billet buy-in share vs captive melt; rolling utilisation %; which mill runs night; HT order book weekly; colour temper cosmetic vs structural product mix; machine shop load factor; diesel stock; UPS on VD; harmonic issues (ask if capacitor panels trip); PF correction equipment age; last energy audit year; any State pollution control consent conditions that force APC continuous run; monsoon production dips; labour shift differentials; scrap chemistry variability increasing melt time; foundry jobbing peaks; export container electrical overtime; ERP vs register heat logs; whether Rushil handles CapEx and Rakesh handles opex bills.

Hypothesis narrative: Integrated Gobindgarh plants often “feel” power cost as a melt problem only. King Steel’s own infrastructure page invites a more accurate mental model: vacuum systems and electric muffles are first-class electrical citizens. When a heat finishes late, supervisors may start VD and keep mills ready “to save time,” producing a coincidence peak that accounts books as “high production month.” Stamped’s wedge is to timestamp those coincidences against PSPCL MD and show the ₹ line. Gas reheat is acknowledged so the team does not waste credibility claiming furnace oil savings Stamped cannot see on the electricity bill.

Commercial packaging: Band B upper — open with bill gate. If ₹28–32L grey zone, offer short Path B month rather than annual ACV fantasy. If ₹50L+, standard 90-day. Emphasise founder-to-founder Hindi-friendly WhatsApp motion; keep English email tight.

Cluster note: Prefer sequencing after / beside other Gobindgarh dossiers for messaging consistency, but never name Bhawani/Arjas numbers to King Steel. Peer credibility comes from Stamped process language (IF/LF/VD), not dropped logos.

Day-90 success picture: a one-page chart Rakesh can hold — “Last month MD ₹ owned ~X% melt start window, ~Y% VD+APC overlap, ~Z% electric HT hold” — with one executed sequencing change and a follow-up invoice note. That is enough to renew or expand to rolling-motor feeders.
